Sonic 06 ported to unity. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it plays a lot better. Could do with the Generations models though, I always hated how they looked in this game.

Gah, you beat me to it.
But yeah, it looks awesome. I too was a bit apprehensive about them leaning so hard on Green Hill Zone again, but a completely new (or at least never-before-used) level with an S3&K-style transition between acts? Hell. yes.
And on Twitter the Whitehead guy confirmed that 2nd acts would have remixed themes also like S3&K. Thank goodness for them finally taking cues from the best game in the franchise.

I've been teaching my five year old cousin how to play classic video games. Its been a struggle, since she can't really read yet, and most of my games are RPGs, or visual novels. She enjoys Mario, but hasn't quite learned the timing yet.
I was worried when she asked to play Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but I was actually really surprised to watch her blast through pretty much the first three levels without a game over. The game really rewards you for moving forward without hesitation, and the ring-system allows for more trial-and-error than Mario's two strike max penalty.
If she can grasp the concept of moving left instead of just right, and gets her timing down, she could possibly beat this game before too long.
3D platforming...well that's another story all together.

Sega announced at SXSW today that Sonic Mania has been delayed from its spring release window to sometime this summer.
While that may be bad news for impatient Sonic enthusiasts, it will likely result in a better product.
Said impatient Sonic enthusiasts are indeed complaining on the Flying Battery Zone teaser.... but unlike a number of those who were annoyed about the delay, as long as a summer release ensures a better gaming experience, I don't see what there is to complain about?

Really? No one's posted the HQ version?
okay
Well in 40 seconds it's hard to show much but looks a lot like Sonic Generations type of gameplay to me and I am a-okay with that. One thing I really like is just what's going on in the background. The first time I watched it I didn't even notice the military shooting at that GIANT FUCKING ROBOT!
Also I love the explosions and the sirens. Gives it a more ominous feel.
Also apparently the plot, so I've heard is that Eggman has taken over the world... like... he's won and this is the after effects. Sonic has to get his past self to help him... and given the name "Sonic Forces" i have to wonder about that third playable character.. another Sonic perhaps? I wonder where he would be from.

So glad they're finally doing what they should have done - iterated on Generations (i.e. the best Sonic game since Adventure 2, and arguably since even before that), instead of that ridiculous Sonic Boom detour.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that, the gameplay looks similar to Lost World only with the speed of the Generations era games (just in terms of how Sonic seems to be controlling). I'm not excited about it yet, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
I'm far more excited about Sonic Mania at this point. Which has sadly been delayed to summer, by the by.

First look at classic Sonic...
Imma go ahead and be the wet blanket and say... the game DOES look fun but FFS we don't need Green Hill Zone in EVERY FUCKING SONIC GAME! Jesus Christ...
okay now that that's over... This "new ally" is clearly not another Sonic... kinda looks like... MAYBE It could be Tails of some kind? I hope so, it'd be nice to see him do something in these modern games
Most people say it looks like Bubsy but... I'm hoping that uhm.. .just... no... please no...

You do realize it's probably not Bubsy and people are just saying that as a joke right?

To me, folks aren't saying it as a joke. I looked at the image under photoshop. The only differences appears to be the presence of shoes and gloves, but that could have just been added to fit with the Sonic universe. It appears to wear a shirt and has the same head shape as Bubsy. Time will tell, I guess.

It also fits Antoine who's actually FROM the Sonic franchise so he'd make a lot more sense... besides it's probably a new character... it did say "new ally"... why the hell would they make it Bubsy? Then again this IS Sega we're talking abou tXD
